< Joel 3 >

1 Hatnae tueng navah, yampa vah man lah kaawm e Judahnaw khocanaw hoi Jerusalem khocanaw bout ka thokhai toteh,
For beholde, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem,
2 miphun pueng ka pâkhueng vaiteh, Jehoshaphat yon koe ka kaw han. Ahnimouh ni ka ram heh a kârei awh teh, ram tangkuem dawk kâkayei e kaie râw tami Isarelnaw koe lah, ka kampangkhai vaiteh lawk ka ceng han.
I will also gather all nations, and wil bring them downe into the valley of Iehoshaphat, and will pleade with them there for my people, and for mine heritage Israel, whom they haue scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 Ka taminaw hah cungpam lah a rayu awh toe. Tongpa camonaw hah a tak kâyawtnaw hoi thoseh napui camonaw hah a nei awh hane misurtui hoi thoseh, athung awh toe.
And they haue cast lottes for my people, and haue giuen the childe for the harlot, and sold the girle for wine, that they might drinke.
4 Oe, Taire kho, Sidon kho, Filistin ram hoi kâhnai e ramnaw, kai hah na taran awh han namaw. Kai na taran awh pawiteh, hote taran hah nangmouh koe bout ka pha sak han.
Yea, and what haue you to do with me, O Tyrus and Zidon and all the costes of Palestina? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence mee, swiftly and speedily will I render your recompence vpon your head:
5 Nangmouh ni kaie sui ngun hah na la teh, ka ngai kawi e hnonaw hah namamae bawkim dawk na hruek awh dawk thoseh,
For ye haue taken my siluer and my golde, and haue caried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things.
6 Judahnaw, Jerusalem khocanaw hah amamae kho thung hoi kho hlanae koe a kampuen awh nahanlah Jentelnaw koe na yo awh dawk thoseh,
The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue you solde vnto the Grecians, that ye might send them farre from their border.
7 nangmouh ni na yonae hmuen koehoi ka kangdue vaiteh ahnimouh koe na sak awh e naw hah nangmae lû dawk ka pha sak han.
Beholde, I will rayse them out of the place where ye haue sold them, and will render your reward vpon your owne head,
8 Nangmae canu capanaw hai Judahnaw koe ka yo vaiteh ahnimouh ni kho hlanae koe, Sheba ram lah na yo awh han. Hottelah BAWIPA ni a dei toe.
And I will send your sonnes and your daughters into the hande of the children of Iudah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people farre off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 Hete hno heh alouke miphunnaw koe pathang loe. Taran tuk hanelah kârakueng awh nateh athakaawme taminaw hah pâhlaw awh leih. Ransanaw abuemlah pâkhueng nateh tho awh naseh.
Publish this among the Gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men: let all the men of warre drawe neere and come vp.
10 Thenaw hah tahloi lah, tangkounnaw hah tahroe lah, dei awh. Tha kayoun e tami ni a thakasai poung e lah kâdei naseh.
Breake your plowshares into swords, and your sithes into speares: let the weake say, I am strong.
11 Tengpam kaawm e miphunnaw pueng kamkhueng awh nateh tho awh haw. Kâpâkhueng awh haw. Kamkhuengnae hmuen koe nangmae athakaawme taminaw hah BAWIPA ni rahimlah a pabo han.
Assemble your selues, and come all yee heathen and gather your selues together round about: there shall the Lord cast downe the mightie men.
12 Alouke miphunnaw, Jehoshaphat yawn koe tho awh naseh. Tengpam kaawm e miphunnaw pueng lawkceng hanelah hote hmuen koe kai ka tahung han.
Let the heathen be wakened, and come vp to the valley of Iehoshaphat: for there will I sit to iudge all the heathen round about.
13 Cang a hmin toung dawkvah, a nahanelah tangkoun lat leih. Misur katinnae a kawi teh, Maroi dawk misurtui a poum toung dawkvah, tho nateh kum awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae yonnae teh a len poung toe.
Put in your sithes, for the haruest is ripe: come, get you downe, for the winepresse is full: yea, the winepresses runne ouer, for their wickednesse is great.
14 Lawkcengnae ayawn dawk taminaw teh a kamkhueng awh. Lawkcengnae ayawn dawk BAWIPA e hnin teh a hnai toe.
O multitude, O multitude, come into the valley of threshing: for the day of the Lord is neere in the valley of threshing.
15 Kanî hoi thapa a hmo han. Âsinaw hai ang laipalah ao awh han.
The sunne and moone shalbe darkened, and the starres shall withdrawe their light.
16 BAWIPA ni Zion mon dawk hoi a huk toteh Jerusalem khothung hoi lawk a pathang toteh kalvan hoi talai ni a pâyaw han. Hatei BAWIPA teh a taminaw e kâuepnae, Isarelnaw hanlah thaonae lah ao han.
The Lord also shall roare out of Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the heauens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord wil be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 Kathounge Zion mon dawk kaawm e ka tamikathoungnaw e BAWIPA lah ka o e a panue awh han. Jerusalem khopui hai a thoung han. Hote khopui teh Jentelnaw ni bout coungroe awh mahoeh.
So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, mine holy Mountaine: then shall Ierusalem bee holy, and there shall no strangers go thorowe her any more.
18 Hote atueng navah ka radip poung e misurtui mon dawk hoi a yu han. Monrui dawk hoi sanutui a tâco han. Judah tuipui pueng tui a lawng han. BAWIPA e Imthungkhu dawk hoi tuihnu a phuek vaiteh Shittim yawn a duk sak han.
And in that day shall the mountaines drop downe newe wine, and the hilles shall flowe with milke, and al the riuers of Iudah shall runne with waters, and a fountaine shall come forth of the House of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Judah ram dawk, yon ka tawn hoeh e taminaw hah a thei awh teh, Judahnaw hah a rektap awh dawkvah, Izip ram teh tami kingkadi lah ao han. Edom ram haiyah kahrawng patetlah kingdi han.
Egypt shalbe waste, and Edom shall be a desolate wildernesse, for the iniuries of the childre of Iudah, because they haue shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Judah ram teh yungyoe e ram, Jerusalem khopui teh a yungyoe kangning e khopui lah ao han.
But Iudah shall dwell for euer, and Ierusalem from generation to generation.
21 BAWIPA teh Zion mon dawk ao dawkvah, hote khocanaw a thei awh dawkvah ka khang sak hoeh rae Judahnaw e thiphu hah bout ka pathung han.
For I will clense their blood, that I haue not clensed, and the Lord will dwell in Zion.
